a. Suppose the government increases both taxes (7) and government purchases (G) by equal amounts. Assuming income (Y) is fixed by the factors of production, the change in national saving (AS) will be (MPC-1) * AT. (1-MPC) x AT. b. The larger is the MPC (the closer it is to 1), the will be the increase in the interest rate. will be the decline in investment, and the
4.5 You are given the following data concerning Freedonia, a legendary country: (1) Consumption function: C = 200 + 0.8Y (2) Investment function: I = 100 (3) AE = C + I (4) AE = Y a.

1. Assume in a simple economy that the level of saving is –500 when aggregate output equals zero and that the marginal propensity to save is 0.2. Derive the saving function and the consumption function, and draw a graph showing these functions. At what level of aggregate output does the consumption curve cross the 45° line? Explain your answer and show this on the graph.2. Use your answer to the previous problem to calculate the MPC, MPS, government spending multiplier, and tax multiplier. Draw a graph showing the data for consumption spending, planned aggregate expenditures, and aggregate output. Be sure to identify the equilibrium point on your graph. Sorry, these two questions are linked. I totally forgot.
